The working conditions of journalists in Algeria have evolved since the 1962 independence. After 1990, the Code of Press was suppressed, allowing for greater freedom of press.

El Kettar Cemetery is one of the most famous cemeteries in Algeria. It is situated in a suburb of the city of Algiers in the commune of Oued Koriche. It opened in 1838 replacing the cemetery of Sidi Abderrahmane destroyed in 1830. It was previously known as Dar El Ghrib since foreigners of the city's limit were buried there. The current name, El Kettar, is due to the distillation of jasmine in the Bridja, a funeral monument dating from the Ottoman era. It was built on a steep hill cemetery, because at the time of colonization, the French authorities forbade Muslims to bury their dead in flat terrain.
Yetnahaw Gaa, often written Yetnahaw ga3 !, is a slogan in Algerian Arabic, which appeared during the protests that took place in Algeria from 2019 to early 2021. It has become a sort of rallying cry of internet surfers since the publication of a video on social media showing a young Algerian interrupting a local correspondent of the television channel Sky News Arabia, on the evening of 11 March 2019 where ex-president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced he was giving up a fifth term. The idea behind this slogan is that anyone who has led or participated in any way in the governance of the country should be hunted.
